Mateo Kovacic

[badpiggy]

How about "Man runs in straight line with a ball though"?

Found that aspect of it OTT but I'd be a bit of a minimalist

[Maxiedge]

Have to say the sight of Markovic and Kovacic running in straight lines parallel tandem to each other would be worth the transfer fee alone.

He looks good, but I want to see more. Has anyone got a clip of him considering whether or not to take a shot, deciding not to and then passing?

Oooh, naughty. You'll want the dark web for that.

He's been wrong on a lot to do with Liverpool this summer but Fabrizio Romano just tweeted this:

@FabrizioRomano: Advanced talks between Inter and Real Madrid for Mateo Kovacic. #transfers

This looks like it has legs and not just rumours

@m_christenson: Wow. Inter and Real Madrid close to agreeing €35m deal for Mateo Kovacic! (via @FabrizioRomano) Seems like a lot of money to me.

All hogwash until it actually happens!

Real Madrid have signed Inter Milan midfielder Mateo Kovacic in a surprise deal with in excess of €30 million (£21.3m), according to a report in Italy.

Illarramendi out then I would imagine.

yep

Wonder if Inter will make a decent offer for Lucas now. Maybe we could tell them he's not for sale unless they take Balotelli back too.

[Irishnev]

The dream is over - please move to the General Football section.

I guess we'll sign him on loan next season

He'll be available this summer and if we do move Lucas I wouldn't be surprised if we go after him as long as Real is willing to accept a reasonable offer.

The problem is that I cannnot see him starting as BR seems to be set on who he wants in the midfield.
